    Poor stuff

    Opening 25 minutes played some good stuff then for some reason we struggled to string passes together . No spark no creativity but we have got a win and going to the break we should be in good heart. Crying out for creative midfield player but I thought Moult played really well ,Robinson you can't judge on that performance but looked no better than what we have .IB lives to fight another day but really his jacket is on a shooglie nail

    I think he was taken off only to give the new guy a run out.

    Was it my imagination but as the game went on were we not defending deeper and deeper. Near the end they were attacking more and got a corner. We had noone left up front. Why against a team as guff as Killie were we lying back and letting them come onto us. I could see this was happening, the rest of the guys in the east could see it. Why couldnt IB?

    Nine times out of ten if you're only a goal up in the last 10 minutes you're going to defend deeper. Firstly it's just human nature that you get protective while they start taking more risks and secondly if they start playing four or five up top and wally the ball forwards every time they get it looking for a lucky break, you need to be deep to mop up. The players are also tired at the end of the game so full-backs and midfielders are less likely to take the extra steps forward knowing they've got another sprint back to come.

    Everyone appreciates the theory that you try not to sit back and defend deeply but no matter how miserable it is to watch, there are reasons it keeps happening - to teams much better than us as well.

    Sitting back in the last 10 minutes is just one of these things you need to endure.

    What was a big problem was doing what McCall tended to do and park the bus to defend a one-goal lead from 50 minutes...Baraclough, for all his flaws, has never intentionally
